I could probably find an incarnation of it and resurrect it, tbh. But it is a time suck.

It's instant positive feedback. It's mainly for motivation. You write for an hour. Then you post about 250-300 words of what you wrote that hour (or less, whatever), then people rep you a little thing they liked about it and you do the same for them, and then you try to beat the clock and have something new for the new hour.

It's in SYW.

No, I'm heading to bed at 11. Hoping to reach 52K by then, though.

I agree with Dorothy. That's a fun hook if I've ever seen one.

Finally got my erotica site up and running. I also got a new avi. I was working on my banner yesterday, so figured I'd post the picture wherever I can :)

Thanks so much. I just saw your follow on Twitter and followed back. I'll follow on Emily (fantasy) later when I sign in.

Put THAT as the blurb! I'd buy it in a heartbeat! ;)
LOL, you know, I'd never consider it when I started, but now it's a possibility. I had no idea how important sex was going to be in the novel. Seriously, the whole "sex costs extra" thing was supposed to make it easier on me...and then every single android I focus on has to deal with sex. These characters are the first to really really not listen to me, lol

Oh no, how awful. Hope writing makes it better.

I'm done with a long work day. But I have a write-in tonight, yay.

Hi Moni :hi:

I am in the middle of subbing a YA/ScFi. I had a request for a full, but got rejected.

Now I am waiting for the rest to come in.

And I'm writing. :D
